A governance opinion backed by a controlled evidence record.
The analytical score and the published rating designation are separate layers. The score supports diagnostics and trend analysis; the AIGR designation communicates an approved governance opinion within a defined scope and date.
Seven designations, plus Not Rated.
The designation is categorical. It is not a percentage, probability, credit rating or safety guarantee.
A governed decision process, not a one-time questionnaire.
Every rating fixes five scope parameters.
Entity
The accountable legal entity and business unit.
System
The named AI system, version and intended use.
Lifecycle
The stage assessed, from development through production.
Jurisdiction
The regulatory context applied to the assessment.
Period
The evidence window and point-in-time assessment date.
An AIGR rating is an opinion on governance maturity and evidence confidence. It is not certification, accreditation, legal advice, regulatory approval, audit assurance, a safety guarantee or a credit rating.
